The new BizTalk Server 2004 schema designer (which I still haven't become a fan of) has one thing I really, really dislike: By default, schemas created with it have elementFormDefault="unqualified". Yuck. I always forget to change it the first time, and of course I'm then surprised when BizTalk doesn't catch...

While I can't take a picture worth a penny, I love looking at cool photos. One site I enjoy looking at everyday is Daily Dose of Imagery.

I always thought this was just pretty funky:
namespace System
{
class Object

public static void Main()

System.Console.WriteLine("Hola");

Around tuesday last week, my laptop's 20 gig harddrive started making really ugly noises (thumping really hard). I'd have the feeling it would be dead soon for a while, because of a few errors I'd spotted on the event log, so it came as no surprise. It was rather sad,...
